JEWISH MUSEUM
Museum exploring the history of Frankfurt's Jews, including emancipation, rebirth, daily life and religion.
The museum traces the history of Frankfurt's Jews since the 11th century. For a long time subject to the vagaries of imperial and city politics, they were confined to a ghetto consisting of a street, the Judengasse, which housed about 3,000 people. The exhibitions look back at the slow emancipation of the 19th century, then at the Shoah and its forerunners, and finally at the rebirth of the community in the city after the war. Rooms are also devoted to daily and religious life: objects of worship, holy books, etc. On the site of the former ghetto, an annex, the Museum Judengasse, Am Börneplatz, can be visited independently, it shows in particular archaeological remains of the street
